Trace Elements HCL V-Plus 180 Tablets – Optimal Digestive Aid with Betaine HCL
Trace Elements HCL V-Plus (180 Tablets) is expertly formulated to support digestive health through the inclusion of Betaine Hydrochloride (HCL). This essential compound plays a crucial role in maintaining the optimal acidity of your stomach, necessary for the effective digestion of proteins and the absorption of vital nutrients. Our formula is enhanced with Gentian Root, Protease 3.0 (from Aspergillus niger), and Lipase, making it ideal for promoting protein digestion and optimizing fat metabolism. Additionally, enriched with Vitamin B1 (thiamine hydrochloride), HCL V-Plus aids in efficient digestion and nutrient utilization, ensuring you get the most out of your meals.
HCL V-Plus is specifically crafted for individuals seeking enhanced digestive support to maximize protein breakdown and nutrient absorption. Our advanced formula combines Betaine HCL with plant-derived enzymes, such as Protease 3.0 and Lipase, uniquely designed for efficiency at low pH levels. This makes it an excellent choice for those experiencing insufficient stomach acid. Gentian Root, a traditional digestive support herb, further boosts digestive functionality, while Thiamine (Vitamin B1) supports overall metabolism. You can trust this hypoallergenic formula, free of common allergens and unnecessary artificial additives.

The bottle says take one tablet a day with a meal. That is the generic label default, and it is almost never what a hair tissue mineral analysis actually calls for.
A lab report prescribes a schedule written as three numbers — morning, noon and evening:
| On your report | What it means |
|---|---|
| 1 | One tablet, once a day |
| 1-1-0 | One in the morning, one at noon, none in the evening |
| 1-1-1 | One with each of the three meals |
| 2-1-1 | Two in the morning, one at noon, one in the evening |
| 2-2-1 | Two, two, then one |
| 1-1-2 | One, one, then two — weighted to the evening |
| 3-3-3 | Three with each meal, nine a day in total |
Those are examples rather than a complete list. The amounts come from your own oxidation rate and mineral ratios, so a formula the label treats as a once-a-day supplement may be prescribed several times a day on a chart — or only in the morning, or not at all.
So do not work out how long a bottle will last from the label. Work it out from your schedule. On 3-3-3, a 180-count bottle is twenty days, not six months.
If you have a report and are not sure how to read it, send it over — walking people through their own numbers is exactly what the text support is for.
Betaine hydrochloride with gentian and acid-stable enzymes addresses low stomach acid rather than enzyme capacity. Low stomach acid is common in slow oxidation, and it matters more than people expect: minerals need an acidic stomach to be freed from food and absorbed, so a mineral program can underperform simply because the first step is not happening.
Start low. Too much too soon is uncomfortable, and the amount that suits someone varies widely.

Low stomach acid is far more common than most people realise, particularly in slow oxidation, and it undermines a mineral program from the very first step. Start low with this one. Too much too soon is uncomfortable and puts people off something that would have suited them at a smaller dose.
I came to hair analysis in 2010, under ARNP Julie Walker in Kennewick, Washington, and worked directly with Analytical Research Labs — testing family and friends until I could read a chart properly. I listened to every cassette tape Dr. Paul Eck recorded and read every newsletter that laboratory published. When I found out a degree in Nutritional Balancing existed, I signed up with Dr. Larry Wilson in August 2011, and I have practised independently since the autumn of 2017. The most useful thing I can offer is not a longer product list — it is help reading your own chart and adjusting between tests. Mineral patterns almost always shift on a retest, and watching that happen chart to chart is where the real learning is. I hand-select the formulas and the absorbable forms that consistently help people feel and function better.
How I am available to you. If you order a hair analysis, you get text support from me while you are on the program — retracing and detox questions are best answered as they happen, not weeks later. It takes about three months to train someone to understand what is going on and adjust their own program between tests, and that is the goal. Our Facebook group is free to join whether or not you have bought anything: ask questions there and read through the tips already shared.
I also work in order of priorities, to fit your budget. Some people go all out for longevity; others take only what their hair analysis calls for, once a day. Both are worth doing. Tell me where you are and we will start there.
Matched to your chart. Trace Elements formulas are designed to be selected from Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis results rather than chosen from symptoms, because the same product can suit one oxidation pattern well and another poorly. If you are unsure whether this one fits you, a hair analysis answers that from your own numbers.
Betaine HCL supports optimal stomach acidity, which is critical for protein digestion and nutrient absorption. It may also help alleviate symptoms of low stomach acid.
If you have a sensitive stomach or are prone to ulcers, consult your healthcare provider before using HCL V-Plus to determine if it's appropriate for you.
Results may vary depending on individual digestive health and diet. Some users report immediate relief, while others may take a few weeks to notice improvements.

Expert Guidance for HCL V-PLUS – Trace Nutrients™ – #153-B (180 tabs) Supplementation
For optimal results, HCL V-PLUS supplements should be used in conjunction with individualized recommendations from a Health Practitioner trained in Hair Analysis. During pregnancy, these supplements are considered safe to use based on standard recommendations. However, if you are breastfeeding, it is essential to re-run an HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) test to ensure tailored guidance from a qualified practitioner.
The recommended dosage of HCL V-PLUS by Trace Elements supplements is typically tailored to individual needs, based on the results of an HTMA test. As a general guideline, the recommended daily dose ranges from one (1) to three (3) tablets, taken two to three times per day with meals. To guarantee the most effective and safe use, it is essential to consult a qualified Health Practitioner skilled in Hair Analysis. If an HTMA test is not available, please follow the dosing instructions provided on the supplement packaging and consult with a healthcare professional.
Each bottle of HCL V-PLUS provided by Trace Nutrients™ contains 180 tablets, and when consumed per the suggested guidelines, it can deliver a supply that lasts anywhere from 30 to 180 days. This duration is largely influenced by individual consumption habits and dosage levels.

This innovative method ensures that users fully realize the benefits of their supplements.
Trace Elements Supplements have been thoughtfully formulated to complement your health program based on hair analysis.
Trace Elements formulas work best when they are matched to your mineral pattern. A hair tissue mineral analysis shows your levels and toxic element exposure, and the kit is mailed to you with a scale. Or simply call us on 888-932-2526 and ask.
